I was awarded permanent physical custody of my child, and my daughter’s father has visitation rights. He has been ordered not to call me at work except in emergency. He has called me at work and he recently signed our child in for an extracurricular activity that he only told me about after the child had attended. Can you tell me what I need to file to show that he is disobeying the court order? Thank you. We reside in Wake County, NC, the court order is from Wake County, NC.
